After losing a loved one, some survivors may find that the pain associated with that loss doesn’t lessen with time. Support groups provide a safe place to express feelings, share experiences, learn about grief and move ahead in the grief process. Good Shepherd Hospice provides various support groups throughout the year. We hope you will take advantage of the group that best suits your needs
and circumstances. You do not have to be the loved one of a hospice patient to participate in these support groups. We are pleased to offer all of our programs to anyone residing in Polk, Highlands or Hardee County who has experienced the death of a loved one. All support groups are provided at no charge to participants. For more info and to register for support groups, please call 863-968-1739 or 1-800-464-3994 or visit the calendar at www.chaptershealth.org.
